I am Assistant Professor in Philosophy of Education in the School of Education, where I am co-director of the Cultures, Academic Values in Education (CAVE) research centre as well as PhD coordinator. Prior to joining Trinity, I held positions in Aarhus University, and TU Dublin. My research career in started in 2013 through involvement in projects relating to the humanities in higher education, research impact, and higher education policy. As well as this, I have consulted for the OECD on the HEInnovate series of reviews of the national higher education systems in Ireland, the Netherlands, and Austria.

Project Title
 A Cost-Benefit Analysis of using the ICAI-McCabe Survey to Measure Beliefs and Knowledge about Academic Integrity in Irish Higher Education
From
01/02/23
To
31/07/24
Summary
For those working and studying in Irish higher education, the rapidly expanding range and types of academic misconduct are prompting renewed institutional and sectoral efforts to safeguard academic integrity. Central to dealing with such a critical topic is understanding what those working and studying in Irish higher education know and believe about academic integrity. This project will evaluate the challenges, costs, and benefits of adapting the ICAI-McCabe surveys of faculty and student attitudes and beliefs about academic integrity for use within the HEI sector in Ireland.

Project Title
 How Much? The financial costs of being a postgraduate researcher
From
To
Summary
The recent call for as well as subsequent increase in the financial supports provided to postgraduate researchers (PGR) and the subsequent debate concerning their status within the academic `ecosystem" (for want of a better term), has largely been based on macro level data and anecdotal evidence. As noted by the Irish government commissioned report (Johnson and Cagney 2023) there is little in the way of fine- grained data regarding PGRs financial situation and contexts. Beyond the `income" component (which for convenience we will refer to as the `stipend" paid to students), little is known about the expenditure dimension of being a PGR. In summary, the study has been designed to investigate the financial costs associated with full and part-time doctoral study. The key areas to be explore are: 1) sources of income; 2) the extent and use of paid employment; 3) patterns of expenditure pertaining to: a) living costs (e.g. accommodation, food, utilities, child care etc.) and b) doctoral programme related activities; 4) the effects of financial situations on aspects of study and non-study life; 5) the demographical characteristics in relation to `1 to 4".
